Copper abieate is a broad-spectrum fungicide. The substance has not been widely studied and so data on its environmental fate, its toxicity to fauna and flora and potential health impacts are scarce.
Green scales. Soluble in alcohol and
in oils (producing a fine-green color); insoluble in
water.
Preservative metal paint, fungicide.
